After asking to sit down, Nangong Yitian talked about choosing a day to hold the apprenticeship ceremony. Nangong Yitian was very polite to this teacher. After all, she was well-known and her father respected her so much.
However, there is always a sense of caution.
How could Ming Wudao not see it? He didn't say anything else and only asked about Tian En's life experience.
Leng Xiao asked: "I don't think it's important who he was in the past. What's important is who he is now."
Mr. Wudao said seriously: "When I accept a student, I must know his origins. I can't have someone kneel in front of me for no reason and call him "teacher" and I have to accept him."
Dundun added, "Although it is the Queen Mother's decree that I enter the palace, it is my own rules to give birth to children. If you don't follow my rules, I won't teach you if you resist the decree."
In other words, Tian En’s identity must be revealed.
Leng Xiao was originally afraid that she would be involved with King Jin, or secretly work for King Jin and get information.
But if you think about it carefully, Tian En’s identity is actually revealed, so what? All the people in the world are the emperor's subjects, and so are the beggars.
Moreover, it is impossible to keep this matter hidden forever. With so many people staring at the East Palace, and Tian En being written into the jade certificate, his life experience will be dug up sooner or later.
Thinking of this, she stepped back and said truthfully: "I really don't know his life experience. I only know that he is the adopted son of Dr. Leng Sui'an. Before meeting Dr. Leng, he was just begging on the street for a living. He has no father or mother. Leng The doctor took pity on his loneliness and took him into the East Palace to treat the emperor's grandson. He stayed with the emperor's grandson all day long and became very attached to the emperor's grandson. I returned to the East Palace to reunite with the prince and grandson. Doctor Leng was sentenced to death for offending the Queen Mother, but The child is innocent, and he has no blood relationship with Doctor Leng, and seeing that the emperor's grandson is reluctant to part with him, after discussions with His Highness, I decided to adopt him as an adopted son, and the Queen Mother is also aware of this."
When Mr. Wu Dao heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he was very shocked, "Little beggar?"
Leng Xiao said: "I think there is no need to investigate who he was in the past. He is now the adopted son of the East Palace. It is enough to know this."
Mr. Wu Dao shook his head slightly and said, "Prince Princess, don't get me wrong. Here, people are not divided into three or six or nine grades. Whether they are beggars or powerful people, they are all the same."
Leng Xiao thought to herself, if it's the same, why bother asking about your origin?
With a slightly warm look on his face, he covered his conscience and said, "Sir, you are noble."
Mr. Wu Dao looked at her and the Crown Prince for a while, then stood up and said calmly: "The Crown Princess has received a reward. In this case, I will ask the Crown Prince to hold the apprenticeship ceremony on a different date."
"I will ask the national master to choose an auspicious day." Nangong Yitian said.
Ming Wudao bowed and turned to the door, but then looked back at Nangong Yitian, "Your Highness, do you know that if the world knows that you have adopted the little beggar as your adopted son, and the emperor's grandson still calls him an elder brother, what impact will it have on you? "
Nangong Yitian said: "Please give me some advice."
"Some people may say that His Highness is kind-hearted, but others may say that His Highness is a woman. The latter will have a great influence on His Highness, and will lose followers because of it. They regard dignity as the top priority and cannot accept a beggar. To become His Highness’ adopted son, the stability of His Highness’ position as Crown Prince depends on the latter.”
Because the latter are often the dignitaries and ministers of the capital.
It would be childish and ridiculous for Your Highness to think that by adopting a beggar, you can gain the hearts of the people and gain a reputation for kindness.
This is the subtext of Ming Wudao.
Nangong Yitian said calmly: "It's just that I adopted an orphan as my adopted son to accompany the emperor's grandson. Where did all these things come from?"
Nangong Yitian's subtext is, this is the brother I found for my son, what does it have to do with others? Who has such a developed mind to think about stabilizing the position of the prince?
